## The Arm Research Starter Kit: System Modeling using gem5

This Research Starter Kit will guide you through Arm-based system modeling using the gem5 simulator and a 64-bit CPU model. This High-Performance In-order (HPI) CPU model is tuned to be representative of a modern in-order Armv8-A implementation.

This Research Starter Kit is comprised of two main parts:

1. **[gem5](https://github.com/gem5/gem5)**: the source code for the [gem5 simulator](https://www.gem5.org/)

2. **[arm-gem5-rsk](https://github.com/arm-university/arm-gem5-rsk.git)**: the current repository, which contains the scripts, patches and the documentation required to get started, and also run examples and benchmarks

Either clone the above repositories separately, or use the [clone.sh](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arm-university/arm-gem5-rsk/master/clone.sh) script to clone both of them:

```bash

$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arm-university/arm-gem5-rsk/master/clone.sh

$ bash clone.sh

```

The current release includes the following components:

* **gem5_rsk_gem5_23.0.pdf**: the documentation

* **clone.sh**: a script to download all the required materials

* **read_results.sh**: a script to read the gem5 statistics

* **parsec_patches**: contains patches for compiling PARSEC for the gem5 Full-System simulation mode

* **parsec_rcs**: contains a script for creating runscripts for PARSEC benchmarks

* [Wiki](https://github.com/arm-university/arm-gem5-rsk/wiki): a cheat sheet, containing all code and examples provided in the documentation

### This kit is suitable for computer system researchers looking to:

- develop Arm-based system modeling experience using gem5

- use a modern Armv8-A based processor model in their research

### You will need intermediate knowledge of:

- linux

- computer architecture

### And working knowledge of:

- C++

- Python

### Topics covered

- Introduction to gem5

- Arm system modeling in gem5 in different modes

- A High-Performance In-order (HPI) Arm-based CPU model

- Benchmarking the HPI model
